What We Do
Architecture Kids delivers creative architecture and design workshops for children and young people, working with schools, groups, and individuals in person and online.
​
Our workshops are built around open-ended architectural projects that encourage curiosity, exploration, and hands-on making. Drawing on architectural thinking, we introduce students to creative processes that balance imagination, constraints, and practical decision-making.
​
We believe creativity grows when students are given clear structure, supportive guidance, and the freedom to explore ideas without pressure to reach a single 'right' answer. Our role is to create the conditions in which young people feel confident to think, test, and refine ideas — and to support teachers with thoughtfully designed, engaging learning experiences.
​
Benefits for Students
Students experience a practical, hands-on alternative to traditional classroom learning.
​
Through open-ended design projects, they are encouraged to experiment, take creative risks, and develop ideas in their own way - without fear of getting it 'wrong'.
This approach helps students build confidence in their thinking, strengthen problem-solving skills, and become more comfortable working through uncertainty with curiosity rather than hesitation.
​
By making, testing, and refining ideas, students develop creative resilience, fine motor skills, and a genuine sense of pride in what they create - often discovering abilities they didn’t realise they had.
​
Benefits for Schools
Our workshops align with the National Curriculum and support cross-curricular learning by using architecture to connect subjects such as art, design technology, maths, science, and humanities.
​
Teachers gain a structured yet flexible approach to creativity that engages a wide range of learners, including those who may struggle with more traditional teaching methods.
​
Workshops encourage high levels of student engagement, collaboration, and independent thinking, helping classrooms feel more focused, inclusive, and positive.
​
Schools benefit from a well-planned, low-pressure creative experience that complements existing teaching while supporting broader aims around confidence, wellbeing, and lifelong learning.
